The sun was shining brightly, and the cool breeze caressed the curtains in front of the window, making a gentle sound like a girl's gentle whisper. Through the gap between the two curtains, you can see a few small red flowers outside the window. Although they are wild flowers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, their refreshing fragrance is enough to make passers-by feel happy.
At this beautiful time, it's perfect for...having a good sleep!
Pulling the quilt covering his body, Qianye turned over on the soft bed and changed to a more comfortable position. If possible, he hoped to maintain this state for the whole morning, but it was obvious that someone didn't intend to let him do so.
"Qianye, get up quickly!"
The energetic female voice seemed to have endless energy. Seeing the "white worm" crawling on the bed still motionless, the woman pouted her lips and stretched her slender arms like white jade into the quilt.
"It hurts! My arm…my arm is going to break!" With a shrill scream, Qian Ye threw back the quilt and sat up, rubbing his red and swollen right arm with one hand and breathing in cool air.
Then, he looked at the young and beautiful woman in her twenties who looked somewhat similar to him, and said with a resentful look:
"Mom! Today is our day off."
Yes, this beautiful woman who was often mistaken for a sibling when he went out with her was his biological mother, Toya.
As for how the old man in his family was able to abduct such a young and ignorant girl, his father had always used the same excuse over the years to evade Qianye's question: "Your mother is well-maintained and her real age is much older."
Qian Ye commented haha on his father's explanation. Judging from his mother's occasional eccentric behavior, her mental age is even lower than her appearance.
Not knowing what his beloved son was secretly saying about him, Touye tried to put on a serious expression and said:
"Qianye, you are already ten years old this year, which makes you qualified to become a Pokémon trainer. Today is the day when Professor Oak in this town distributes initial Pokémon to new trainers. If you don't go now, it will be too late!"
I thought it was nothing... Hearing what his mother said, Qianye was speechless. In an instant, he felt that what he encountered this morning was nothing more than a disaster.
"Didn't I say a long time ago that I didn't want to be a trainer? Besides, even if I really have that idea one day, given my relationship with the doctor, I can just tell him in advance."
Indeed, if other children of the same age want to go out and travel, they usually have to go to Professor Oak in town on a fixed day to ask for a starting partner. But Qianye's situation is a little different. Due to some special reasons, he followed Professor Oak when he was very young and learned how to observe and cultivate various Pokémon.
Although Professor Oak is a famous scholar, he is kind and easy-going. In addition, Qianye has always performed well, so he has the intention of training him as an assistant. Given their relationship, if Qianye wants to get a starter Pokémon, the professor will definitely keep it for him.
"But, your father said that young people have no future if they don't become trainers..." Shiye looked a little embarrassed.
"Dad is just a convenience store owner, what does he know?" Qian Ye, who had already changed his clothes, waved his hand and walked straight out of the room.
As soon as he walked out of the door, a gray-black puppy jumped into his arms with joy, and its furry head kept rubbing against the boy's chin. Its name is Kuroko, and its scientific name is Coyote Dog. It is a Pokémon that his father Genta adopted in the Hoenn region in his early years, and it has also been his playmate since childhood.
After scratching Heizi's neck and making him snore comfortably, Qianye smiled and picked him up, and walked to the dining table in the hall. On the square wooden table, a rich breakfast that whetted one's appetite was already laid out, and the tempting aroma filled the air.
He filled Heizi's small bowl with food and placed it on the ground. Seeing him happily licking the food in the bowl, Qianye withdrew his hands and was about to start eating when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be one less person at the table:
"Mom, where is Dad?"
Soon, an echo came from behind: "He went out early this morning with his fishing rod on his back and hasn't come back yet."
So, with the old man's terrible fishing skills, it seems that he will be empty-handed again this morning. Thinking of this, Qianye picked up the chopsticks again and prepared to enjoy...
Wait! No, since my father was not here all morning, then these breakfasts must be... The boy lowered his head and looked at the food on the plate. He swallowed a big mouthful of saliva unconsciously. Coincidentally, Shiye also came out of the room at this time and walked to his side.
So, the boy asked with a trembling voice: "Mom...what are these things?"
"I made this. This is a new dish I just learned. Let's try it and see how it tastes." The young mother replied with an innocent smile.
"Ah...hahaha..." Qianye glanced at Heizi who had finished half a bowl of food. Suddenly, his face twisted into an expression of pain, and the whole person... no, the whole dog just lay on the ground on its side, curled up and wailing.
"Kuroko?! Heizi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the puppy in such a state, Shiye picked it up nervously, looking at a loss.
Why are you still asking questions like that? Why do you think your father never dared to let you cook when he was alive? Seeing this, Qianye was immediately moved. The dishes cooked by his own mother were truly "killing dishes", the kind that even Taotaoguo couldn't save!
He turned his eyes back to the dishes. The delicious food that was originally full of color and fragrance had now turned into a collection of indescribable tentacles in the boy's eyes...
…
I made up an excuse and left home without eating. My mother was busy treating Heizi and had no time to pay attention to him. Although my stomach was growling, for the sake of my own life, I decided not to touch the ominous food. As for poor Heizi... my brothers will always miss your sacrifice.
Because he had no destination, Qianye just casually wandered around the town. As he walked, he came to a white building that looked like a research institute. In front of the heavy door, there was a group of adults, led by a charming young woman.
Perhaps she noticed someone was looking at her. She turned around and saw that it was Qianye. The corners of her mouth immediately raised in a nice smile and she walked out of the crowd:
"It's Xiaoye, good morning."
"Good morning, Aunt Hanako." Qianye also responded politely.
Unlike his own mother who was so natural that she gave him a headache, the woman in front of him was a typical good wife and mother. She was good-looking, gentle and kind to others, and had a good relationship with people in the town. As soon as he saw her, Qianye understood why these people gathered here:
Hanako's only son, Satoshi, is of the same age as Hanako, and unlike Hanako, he has always regarded becoming a Pokémon master as his lifelong goal. Although based on Qianye's understanding of him, this dream is a little too unrealistic... Anyway, Satoshi should be receiving Pokémon from Professor Oak right now, and these people are following Hanako to see him off.
"I told you to call me sister..." Hanako frowned slightly, and seemed dissatisfied with Qianye's answer. However, before she could say anything, the opened door of the research institute attracted her attention.
A white-haired but energetic old man, a young boy who looked a little naive, and a cute little mouse with yellow skin walked out together.
The boy was Xiaozhi, who was a childhood friend of Qianye. He was a stubborn person with almost no emotional intelligence, and he often did things that shocked people. However, the annoying thing was that such a guy was actually very popular with girls (although he himself didn't know it). Damn it, I was obviously more handsome, so why didn't any beautiful girls come to me?
On the other side, Hanako and Satoshi had already started talking about various matters after the trip began, and handed a lot of outdoor equipment to each other. Parents are like this, they always tell their children to learn to be independent as soon as possible, but when the day comes for their children to leave home, they are still worried.
Qianye was not very interested in the communication between mother and son. His attention turned to the yellow mouse at Xiaozhi's feet, which should be the other party's initial Pokémon.
He knew this Pokémon, Pikachu, an electric-type mouse Pokémon, which was popular with many female trainers because of its cute appearance... However, shouldn't the initial Pokémon given by Professor Oak be Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle?
It's not necessarily a special treatment for Xiaozhi. Pikachu's racial potential is there. Even if it uses the Thunder Stone to evolve into Raichu, it can't compare to the ultimate form of the three starter Pokémon. Well... According to my Detective Chiya's reasoning, Xiaozhi must be late, and all the initial Pokémon have been claimed, so Professor Oak can only give him a Pokémon he has on hand.
Touching his chin, Qianye nodded, feeling that he had completely seen the truth. At the same time, Xiaozhi picked up Pikachu from his feet and prepared to introduce his future partner to his mother and others.
At this moment, Qianye keenly noticed that Pikachu, who was sitting in Xiaozhi's arms, closed his eyes, and a pair of red power bags on his cheeks flashed a few golden arcs. According to his experience of following Professor Oak for so many years, this behavior is...
He silently moved several steps away from the crowd. Sure enough, the next moment after Qianye stepped back, a strong electric light exploded on Pikachu's small body. Hanako, who was nearby, was immediately affected. The electric current spread from person to person and soon covered the entire crowd.
In an instant, all the adults fell to the ground in a state of panic. Even Xiaozhi, who had just received the rubber gloves from his mother, was still standing but was electrocuted. Qianye, the only survivor, looked at the dead crowd from afar, and when he looked at the Pikachu again, his eyes were filled with shock.
With this level of electricity, this guy...ah, no, this rat is so terrified!
